> However, an electron, unlike a planet or a satellite, is electrically charged, and it has been known since the mid-19th century that an electric charge that undergoes acceleration (changes velocity and direction) will emit electromagnetic radiation, losing energy in the process.
If I take a small piece of matter and shake it for a long time, then don't all its electrons and protons emit electromagnetic radiation and lose energy?
To me it seems the rest of the article, i.e. probability density, also means that the electrons undergoe acceleration because their location changes.
